萬松老人評唱天童覺和尚頌古從容庵錄 2.50

2.50

Xuansha was unyielding to the utmost; / (Facing the moment, he does not yield to his father.)
Changqing lacked courage. / (Seeing what is right and not doing it.)
The Southern Mountain blunt-nosed viper is dead and useless: / (Carrying a broken piece of rope.)
When wind and clouds converge, its horns and head emerge; / (When the time comes, an earthworm becomes a flood dragon.)
Indeed one sees Shaoyang step in and handle it! / (Unable to suppress a chuckle.)
He steps in and handles it— / (If it cannot be handled, then stop; two times, three times.)
Amid flashing lightning, look at the transformation! / (In the blink of an eye, losing body and life.)
In my hands, it can be dismissed and summoned; / (A bit too showy.)
Toward that one, there is capturing and releasing. / (Holding the seven inches in hand.)
To whom is this matter entrusted nowadays? / (Old Man Wansong.)
A cold bite injures a person without them feeling the pain. / (Ouch! Ouch!)
